Is there a way for me to find out my ID and Password on my D-link 624
router?

The ID and PW which I wrote down some time ago does not seem to work when I
use Network Magic.

Hmm... I searching some data about users of computers on census.gov and
I found something strange. This is part of respondents under 18 years
old, who admited, that they are pleying in computer games.

1984 1989 1993 1997

45,50%% 44,10%% 19,60%% 53,60%%

Why there is only 19,6%% in 1993? What happend then? ;)

We haven't touched those big Rubbermaid containers labelled
'Blankets/Sheets' in how long ? and those unlabelled ones - "Let's just
give/throw the stuff away".

"THERE's all the patchcords! I KNEW I had some - somewhere !"
( I had to buy some at Christmas . )

"Extra NIC's - I THOUGHT I still had a few" and coulda used them in the
PC's I gave away !

"I have been looking for that 25' RJ45 cable !"

of 5.25" floppies, an Exabyte tape drive, NT 4.0 Workstation
Boxes/media....

speaking).

Hi,

Well it didn't last long, around 6 days, but this time it "died" while
I was downloading. I will not spend any more time trying to fix this
Compaq Presario 1200XL110. I removed the 3V RTC/CMOS battery,
which I bought new. I check the voltage (2.98V).

  Unexpected mouse behaviour         


Author: Buck
Date: Apr 23, 2008 16:05

I'm totally unsure of what's causing this, but my mouse seems to be triggering links and things by itself and if I have a window
open in front of another window but I move my mouse pointer off of the open window it seems to 'click' on the window behind,
bringing it to the front.

This crazy behaviour is a right pain in the arse because I have to keep moving my mouse pointer off of the screen to prevent it
screwing up my display.

Along with this whenever I open fly-out menus they close on me before I get to wherever I need to go. The triggering frequency
happens about once each second.

I hope someone can help with this annoying problem or provide some kinda enlightenment as to why it might be happening.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Buck

  Dos command help         


Author: JJ
Date: Apr 23, 2008 07:57

I've installed a new and larger 2nd internal hard drive and am trying to
copy my old drive onto it. I then was going to swap them around and use the
old as the slave and boot from the new one.one. I thought I would use the
Xcopy function in Dos.
I made a MS-Dos floppy startup disk and booted using that. It comes up A:\
and I cannot get it to change to the C directory.
I've tried cd and cdir commands to C C: C:\ C:/ and I keep getting invalid
error. Its been 20 years since I had to use Dos commands and I wasn't very
good at it back then. A little help please.

Thanks,
Joe
